The 3D Laser Scanning Microscope (LSM) uses a violet laser (408 nm) and has a pinhole in front of the laser which ensures that no light other than the light reflected from the sample focus point reaches the photoreceptor. Three-dimensional high-resolution focus images are created by combining confocal laser optics with a high-speed XY scanner. Additional white light source detects objects in true colors.
